BOARD MEMBER SPOTLIGHT!
Jim Mazza Brings Powerful Resources of Planning and Coordination to Community Foundation Board
Jim Mazza grew up in Ithaca, attended Cornell, and then spent 29 years working in fundraising and alumni affairs at the university. After he began a phased retirement in 2018, he decided to join Community Foundation's Board of Directors last January.
"It seemed like a natural step to me because I grew up here," Mazza said. "It felt very personal."
While learning more about Community Foundation's impact in Tompkins County over the past year, Mazza has put his skills to work as a member of the Development and Community Relations Committee and as co-chair of Community Foundation's 20th Anniversary Steering Committee.
At Cornell, one of Mazza's main accomplishments was overseeing a 110-member team in the colleges and units that supported the Cornell Now! Campaign, which raised a record-breaking $6.3 billion over a ten-year period, ending in 2015. The campaign, which boosted student financial aid, created new professorships and funded new buildings on campus, was one of the largest fundraising efforts in the history of higher education.
